Dedicated Servers and VPS

Cloud4You managed Dedicated Servers and VPS

Every day when you are using your computer. You are running on an operating system that has been designed for you. For most people, it's either Windows or the Apple OS. An operating system gives you user friendly access to the files on your computer, and it runs programs as well. Hosting providers do basically the same thing, allowing visitors to your website to access files on your site and enable processes, such as scripts.

About Dedicated Servers and VPS

VPS Hosting

To understand VPS Hosting, it’s helpful to understand shared hosting. Shared hosting is similar to having several user accounts on a computer, but instead of being used one at a time, everyone can use the computer, or in this case host, at thesame time. This means that if one website is using a large amount of RAM or bandwidth, other websites hosted on the same server will have fewer resources available to them.

VPS Hosting still involves hosting several websites on the same server, but there’s a hypervisor that ensures that one website doesn’t start causing trouble for the other sites on the server. With VPS Hosting, you’re allocated a certain amount of RAM, bandwidth and server space. For example, if a hosting server has 100Gb of RAM and there are 10 sites being hosted on the server, each website will get 10 Gb of RAM. The same follows for every other type of resource.

Many VPS servers are set up so that the hypervisor can allocate some of another website’s resources that aren’t being used if one site on the server is in need of them. Although a site’s resources may be temporarily loaned out, the hypervisor ensures that the sites being borrowed from don’t suffer.

Dedicated Hosting

There are a number of ways that dedicated hosting can be set up and managed, but the key thing is that one website has an entire server to itself. Management of the system, such as ensuring it software updates occur and protecting the server from malware, can be allocated to the hosting provider or the person using the server can do it themselves.

With a dedicated server, you’re able to choose the equipment, including the amount and type of RAM, the size and type of hard drive and the processor, used in the server. Further, 100 percent of the server’s resources are allocated to your site and they aren’t shared with any others.
